Filter reset when using button

[raymond]

Hello,

I am having a little navigation in one of my dashboards and on top of each page a synchronized time slicer. Everytime I use the buttons to navigate to another slide in my report, the time slicer gets reseted. This occurs on every filter in the entire report. 

Anyone an idea how to get rid of that behavior?

Hello @raymond,

Did you make use of sync slicers?

[raymond]

Yes I did. And when I use the Tab Navigation in the Desktop it is synchronizing but once I use a button element bookmarked to a page, alle the slicer and even predefined filters on visual or page level get reseted.

I guess the below link will help to achieve your requirement;

Hope this helps.

unfortunaltely it does not resolve the issue. I already know that you need to create a bookmarkt with specific settings for the user but in my case the user himself walks through a dashboard. On the first page he hits the date slicer and adjusts it to a certain date range. Then he navigates to the next page using one of my buttons. On the following page the date slicer wont be synchronized anymore. Instead it goes back to its natural default stage. If I go back to the previous slide, the made settings are again set to default. Hence each time my users use a button navigation all the filters get set to default.

Hi @raymond,

What Button do you create? 

By my test with Back Button, I cannot reproduce your issue.

If it is convenient, could you share a dummy pbix file which can reproduce the scenario, so that we can help further investigate on it? You can upload it to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

If I'd only knew how to attach a pbix file here?

[raymond]

Okay, here is a link to the dummy dashboard Link

When you adjust the date slider and use the navigation on the left to the next slide you will have to readjust the date slicer again. and this despite them being snychronized.

Hi @raymond,

Thank you for your sharing!

However, I need your dummy pbix file because I want to know how do you create the button and test it. You can upload your pbix to OneDrive or Dropbox and post the link here. Do mask sensitive data before uploading.)

Hi @raymond,

By my test with your pbix, it seems that you create the bookmark button so when you click the button, it will show the filter you set as bookmark.

Ahhh, I can feel this epiphany. A simple click to exclude filters from the bockmark.
